If the previous websites I have worked on had given me a platform to improve my personal writing, then FootyMatters helped shape me into a more disciplined writer. Again, it would be another step up in terms of readership, but as well as this positive pressure, I was also now writing to strict deadlines.

At the start of each week I was given two feature titles to work around, which would be submitted by certain pre-arranged deadlines to fit around my other freelance work. FootyMatters is an expanding site and looks set to break into a huge market, which hopefully I will be a part of in the coming months as I look to adapt from feature writing to more news-based stories for the site.
